Enrolment at UWI Mona now over 15,000 students
Enrolment at the UWI Mona Campus for the 2005-2006 academic year now stands at just over 15, 000 students. This represents a four percent increase over registration for last year and a thirteen percent increase over the three-year period 2003/2004 to 2005/2006. The enrolment figures were presented at the meeting of the Mona Campus Council, held in the Council Room last Friday, March 10. Campus Council was told that since 2003/2004, the Mona Campus has surpassed the targeted 2.4 percent annual growth in on-campus enrolment as specified in the Strategic Plan. By the end of the plan period 2006/2007, the University hopes to expand enrolment in distance education programmes by 5,000 students and to increase the proportion of students from non-campus countries, also known as the UWI 12.
